>>212388327 (OP)When adults want to tell adult stories, they use live-action. Why are Citizen Kane and the Godfather not animated? Why would they be? It's a serious, grounded, human story, so it can be told with live-action humans. If the story is worth telling, it can be told in live-action. Animation is an embellishment for children. Animated movies and shows can still tell heartfelt stories, like Prince of Egypt or Batman TAS, but ultimately it's always for children and isn't on the same level as live-action adult-oriented cinema
